1. You wore tiny hair bows.

2. You dyed your hair strange colors...or you wanted to but your parents wouldn't let you.

It took you years to grow your hair to be healthy and normal again after all of the heat stress and bleach that you put it through!

3. Black, neon, studded belts, skinny jeans and band t-shirts made up your entire wardrobe.

4. You wanted (or had) snake bites or spider bites.

5. Alesana,Black Veil Brides, Chiodos, MCR, Blood on the Dance Floor, Paramore, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy and All-Time Low were the best bands around!

6. Black eyeliner...that is all.

(Don't forget the guyliner!)

7. No matter how hard you tried, you could never tease your hair the right way.

8. Jeffree Starr was just an awesome gender-bending musician on MySpace, and you adored him.

9. You and your friends would draw on your Vans, Converse or DC's.

10. Drawing Xs on your hands to show you were "straight edge."

"I'm straight edge ... I still drink ... and smoke ... and yeah, that's it ... so I'm still basically straight edge!"

11. You would go to your local underground venue to watch your friends perform with their screamo bands.

We all cheered on our friends in their crappy screamo bands and wore their shirts with pride.

12. Not only did you use a <3 less than 3, you created it!

13. You probably had a lame scene nickname that nobody actually called you.

Just admit it, we all did! How cool would the name, Nicole, be without the suffix "Necrophilia?"

14. Coontails were where it was at, even though your mom would only let you buy the hair extensions.

15. The embarrassment that ensued when your parents found your MySpace page.

16. Obsession with Skelanimals, Hello Kitty, Gloomy Bear and "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

17. You got beaten up at least once in a mosh pit at a show.

18. You always hung out in Hot Topic in hopes of one day scoring a job there.

19. You thought that selling out was a bad thing.

While you were hating on your former favorite band for making it big, you still don't earn a single dime and don't even care to. As you grew older, you realized how important it is to sell out and make money. You can still love your art, but sacrifices need to be made to put bread on the table.

20. You miss the old Black Veil Brides.

Come on, the old EP recording of "We Stitch These Wounds" is way better than the version on the LP.
